Glen Farley has covered sports for The Enterprise since 1978. His time on the Patriots beat dates back to the final year of the Raymond Berry regime, 1989. You could say his roots lie in Foxboro. He once won an award for a piece he wrote on the sod at Gillette Stadium.

Wasn't home to see this myself, obviously, but here's a report from the web site profootballtalk.com concerning CBS's Shannon Sharpe's conduct on Patriots head coach Bill Belichick's postgame conduct.

In defense of Belichick, perhaps he felt that since his team didn't show up for the game on CBS, he wasn't required to show up for the postgame show on the network:

"There’s something to be said about being gracious in defeat," Sharpe said. "We’ve seen the New England Patriots five times in the last 12 years be victorious. And we’ve seen the opposing coaches that lost come out and talk to our Steve Tasker. Coach Cowher did it when [the Steelers] lost to them. We saw this last week [when the Patriots beat the Texans].

"Bill Belichick makes it real easy for you to root against the Patriots. You can’t be a poor sport all the time. You’re not gonna win all the time. And he does this every time he loses. It is unacceptable."
